    Came at night as we were traveling via train and were hungry. Nothing else open aside from a small pizza shop. We entered and were uncertain whether to seat ourselves or wait for service. So we waited about 10 minutes before we were acknowledged. We were seated and eventually someone came to take our order when we were told there was no food served at that time, only drinks. There was no indication on the door, from staff, or on the menu when food is no longer served so that might be helpful to add. Pizza down the road was fantastic.

    We went for some drinks and we got surprised by their delicious craft beers. They have different types of craft beers, wine, cocktails and you can enjoy them in the terrace. Service is not the best as you need ro pick up your drinks at the bar but for a drink near the train station is the best choice.

    This is a lively spot, aimed at young people in the 20 to 35 year age group. Particularly good at weekends. Limited food menu, but wide selection of drinks. Good service. Great vibrant atmosphere. Lovely music playing in the background. Live music on some nights. Recommended.

    If you like beer, you’ll like this place. As simple as that.

    A great looking place but sadly we were turned away at 22:00, despite the advertised closing time being 23:30. There were plenty of people with full pitchers of beer and watching the rugby so I see no reason why the bar was closed so early. We had only wanted one small drink!

    Our waiter was really nice and answered all our questions. The breaded chicken in the Caesar Salad was really good, but too little. Chicken burger was just ok! We would go back for the beer but not for the food.

    No good. Limited choice of not-so-good beer. I couldn't enjoy my drink without staff requesting that I pay the bill (I paid 3 times in 40 minutes!) They could at least bring a little something to smooth the experience but they didn't, even after I teased them about it. I switched to a neighbouring bar: more choice and better service.

    The service was lovely and our waitress even recommended us activities that were taking place. The food was alright nothing too crazy or spectacular something simple that didn’t need to be extra for a good price. The atmosphere wasn’t for me as the music inside was very random and at times annoying.

    This place should not be over 4 stars! Our group came to this restaurant last night after the rugby game for dinner and drinks. We were sat down and our orders were taken including drinks. The drinks included beers and a coca cola...the drinks took over 20 minutes to arrive. We had noticed that other tables had arrived after us and got their drinks and food before us. After waiting for over 50 minutes, our food finally came, the burgers were cold and one of the orders were not available so we had to wait even longer. The communication between the kitchen and staff seemed really poor..there was no explanation of why a bottle of coca cola took over 20minutes or why there were no napkins brought with our food. Additionally the WC facilities were in really poor condition. The staff were nice enough and offered to comp our drinks.

    The beer is fine. But the food is awful. They just make a whole bowl of natcho cheese with a little bit of sauce above the nacho and it costs 12 euros. Overpriced for the quality of food. Don't order food here.

    Loved the vegan burger with salad, all the ingredients, sauces were so perfect taste, right amount, it was mouthwatering. Specially when you are vegetarian, it’s hard to find nice food while you are travelling. Excellent service and staff. ❤️

    Beer was good. Burger was ok but expected better. It was quite dry (thick bun, the patty was too cooked and no sauce to balance that (the burger was the one called Snow patrol)). Fries were good but more like fragments of fries than complete fries.

    Beers are very good but the food is just ok..waiters are nice but slow

  • 5/5 Z W. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent! Chicken breast in the burger “cheese on fire” is very juicy and tender! Worth trying!

  • 5/5 GuyZa 1 year ago on Google
    A very happy place , live music on weekends, the booze is tasty, all alcohol made in house, the food is OK, don't expect anything to fancy, but I'd does the job, go for a good drink, good vibes and good times

  • 5/5 Buddy B. 1 year ago on Google
    Despite having many shortage (on some beers and beaf meat for burgers), the place is nice, beer great and burgers good (and they've been nice enough to accept serving us food by the late hour we came)

  • 4/5 LeonP 8. 1 year ago on Google
    Big beer hall and restaurant. We tried some beers, a bit expensive but very good and flavored. Absolutely a good choice for a cool beer.

    Second time coming there. As a french guy in Lyon, ninkasi is always a safe spot if you're not really sure about what beer to drink.

  • 2/5 Shalini H. V. 6 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    We went in with quite good expectations, as this place had good reviews. After making the order, it took 25min (waiting without any drinks or water) for them to come and let us know that the burger I ordered isn't available anymore. Then when they finally brought the first two burgers, they were really cold. Potato fries were tasty but gone all cold, and my two friends burgers were cold and the cheese was not even melted. We ordered nachos with guacamole, which was quite disappointing. Seemed like the communication was lacking between the kitchen staff and the waiter staff. The beers were nice.

👍 Nice experience in this new restaurant. Gentle staff, there is a nice feeling. I recommend the salads which are super tasty and creative. Could not experience the fresh juice as the restaurant seems to have some teething problems but I will come back in a few weeks to try more.
